Dear Marion,

As I had anticipated, my sister Margrit telephoned a few
hours after we spoke. I told her of your inquiry, and I had 
the impression she would return your call right away. 
Most likely you have already heard from her.

Thank you for your time and interest. The conversation
between us was particularly satisfying to me. Unlike my
sister, I am diffident about trying to establish a channel
of communication to someone like yourself with whom I have
had no opportunity to associate; but once the link is
established I place no limits on the experiences that I
am willing to share or on the efforts that I will make to
try to understand.

I like to write, and some of what I have written is
accessible on my website:

An autobiographical note that fleetingly alludes to one
of my few contacts with your parents which may or may
not be of interest to you is:

You are, of course, welcome to look at any of the other
texts on my website, - and I should be flattered to try 
to answer any questions that might arise in your mind;
but in general I believe it is more rewarding for us
to address each others questions directly rather than
by the circuitous reference to texts that were written
with other concerns in mind.

I cannot explain to you, I cannot even explain to myself,
my passion to understand my Onkel Fritz and the world in
which he lived, - perhaps as an avenue to understanding my
own father, and hence my own existence. In any event, I
hope that as time passes, you will make the effort to write 
to me about your family. What you were told as a child about
my father, my mother, my sister and myself, might be a 
good place to begin.

Thank you again for your telephone call.

Jochen
